An amazing woman: (essentials for the skimmers)
New photos! Some are of me in Peru; some are of Racheal on the AT.
We're in Arequipa at the annual Xtreme Team meeting.
Levi is here! I have a partner!
Nate Branson, God bless 'im, is back home in NC.
Lord willing, Levi and i should be leaving for our next and my last trip to the Tigre sometime around the beginning of March.
The trainees have a little more than a month to go.
The 3600+ miles between us: (extras for the readers)
Dear rest of the Bride,
Oh, let me tell you. What a blessing it was for Bob, Lorne, and i. The Nate Branson Peruvian Visit Extravaganza 2008 has sadly come to an end. Here's to you, Handsome Branson.A few days ago we flew and bussed our way to the second largest city in Peru, Arequipa. Here, we're currently in our annual meeting (held last year in Cuzco, as you may remember). This is the time where we get to see the rest of the Xtreme Team's members and hear one another's stories and prayer requests from the past fiscal year. Some of you may remember Vicente from my training. He's here too! What a blessing to see him once again. We'll be here a couple more days for heading back to Pucallpa. En route, we will stop on the 28th to see my favorite band, Collective Soul, in Lima. Be jealous.Guess who else was able to come to the meeting. Levi! My ol' friend from Ecuador and i are partnering up for my next and last trip to the Tigre River before my Journeyman term ends on May 29th. I'm stinkin' pumped! Of note, Levi is Quichua by blood, so it will be interesting to see how the Tigre Quichuas respond to him.
PrayeRequests:
Fausto and his back injury. Not sure what's going to happen. Just pray anyways.
The Tigre Quichuas. It won't be long.
Disunity and miscommunication among the trainees.

Lima Lime
Brotherhood: (essentials for the skimmers)
Back in Pucallpa. Lima was...Lima.
Rosalinda dropped out of training, too, dag-gum.
A friend from SWO, Nate "Hansom" Branson, surprised me with a visit to Peru.
Bobby Lane is in town, too. Woot woot!!
Racheal and Anne have reached NC. Keep on truckin'!
Fausto ain't here yet because he broke his back or something
The Landside: (extras for the non-skimmers)
Dear souls who've recognized their gross futility outside of God,
As yall know, i've been in Lima since the last time you heard from me. We were able to finally return this week. While in Lima, the Lord did not let me hands be idle for long. One of the greatest ministries a brother or sister can do to assist someone who the Lord has sent out is to pay them a visit. That is exactly what Nate Branson is doing right now. He's in Peru for 3 weeks visiting Bobby and i. I didn't even know until the day he showed up. Props.
I'm currently in Pucallpa, after having to fly from Lima ('cause there was a major land side that made us turn the truck around after 12 hours driving toward Pucallpa) where we are helping out with the training.
In other news, my partner-to-be, Fausto, has recently damaged a couple of his vertebrae in a freak swimming accident and won't be in Peru for at least a couple months. What to do? What to do? Levi's coming back (so i hear)! I bet the Lord's going to work something out. He always does.
PrayeRequests:
Racheal and Anne, on the Trail.
Fausto and his (apparent) role model, myself, to heal.
The quitters, to be able to seek the Lord's Will back in the States.

last sprint. ready, set…
Going: (essentials for the skimmers)
¡Nuevos fotos! Enjoy.
We're in Pucallpa.
Levi and i are preparing for liftoff. Official countdown 'til the bus leaves: 110820 seconds and counting (that's about 1 days and 6 hours for those of you who don't measure long periods of time in seconds).
Just under 4 weeks left for the trainees.
Send my mail to the States! (Address below)
I'd rather not worry about it, but if you'd like to know the approximate time before i'm back on American soil, go here.
Coming: (extras for the readers)
Dear family, friends, and foes,
Our bus leaves tomorrow night at 7 (Peruvian time = add and hour or three).
This may be my last entry before the big dance. We'll stop in Tarapoto (see attached map) before trying to catch a boat going towards the Tigre River.
We'll be trying to fly out again, just like last time, with the oilers. That's pretty iffy at this point.
We should be coming out of the Tigre in mid-May.I should be on US soil again May 29th or 30th.
See you soon.
Muah.
PrayeRequests:
That God would give us opportunities in the the voyage.
That God would glorify Himself in my life every dang moment.
That the Quichuas like Carlos and Giovani would listen to God.Quotes of the Week:"This hotel's pool is so shallow you couldn't drown in it to save your life." --me
"Don't drink gasoline and then pee on a fire." --Brody Holloway giving some good Christian advice"Whoever said 'It doesn't matter who wins or loses, just that you have fun.' probably was a loser." --me
Useless outside of Christ,
